Rain gardens take advantage of the natural abundance of rainfall, rather than wasting it as runoff-- using water flowing from roofs, driveways, or lawns to create beautiful gardens. Learn about additional rainwater-retention strategies such as bog gardens, roof gardens, swales, and terraces, tailored for particular situations or to solve problems such as erosion, icy walkways, or wet basements. With an inspirational slide program, we review design options, construction details, and case studies. Then explore the Garden to see practical applications at various sites. Feel free to bring photos of a site issue to discuss.
